Outgoing, friendly girl who is great with kids :)

Nanny
in Calgary

I come from a big extended family and started babysitting at a very young age. I am the youngest of 3 daughters, and second youngest of 20 cousins. I grew up in a very open minded and loving household that was ALWAYS full of kids. From the time I was 9, until my first real job at 16, I babysat almost constantly. I love children. I have three nieces (6, 4, and 2) that I spend time with almost every day. My sisters tell me that they look up to me as a role model, which is just about the best thing an auntie can be.
I have been a Life Guard for the past 5 years, as well as a customer service rep. I am certified in First Aid, CPR, non-violent crisis intervention, and swimming instruction. I used to be a competitive swimmer, and I enjoy being outdoors, and playing along with the kids. I have never been a "let's watch a movie and I will text" babysitter. I really enjoy engaging with the kids (and of course the new fancy toys they have).
I love drawing, playing guitar, and my dogs. I am very good with animals. I also have a VERY strong stomach so I am completely fine when it comes to any messes. I am also very flexible when it comes to cooking, driving, tidying, laundry, staying late, last minute changes, etc. I am a very outgoing person and I treat every child just like they are part of my big extended family :)
